In over six months Neuer trains with ball for first time

  The World Cup winning-goalkeeper has taken the next step in his recovery from a foot injury, having been sidelined since the middle of September following surgery on a metatarsal problem. The 32-year-old only resumed running outdoors last week and  has trained with a ball for the first time in over six months.
"I know things are coming along very well, but of course there's still time until I'll be at full strength,"  Neur told. "I can't say right now exactly how long that's going to be. I'm currently at around 80 per cent of my body weight at five km/h on the treadmill and that's going up all the time. I expect to be walking at up to 90 per cent without any problems next week, and then be up to 100 per cent the week after, then I'll slowly start running. My walking profile is pretty good, and I'm not feeling any pain. I'm pretty confident I'll be playing again in the second half of the season."
